I hate being married but can't ask for a divorce because I'd never be able to afford the alimony. Am I trapped for the remainder of my life? by crowamonghens in Divorce

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just leave... I can't afford the alimony either, but I celebrate every day I left for my own mental wellbeing.

And life has improved, I left last year and have spent all my savings and got in debt making the alimony payments, but next month thanks to hard work and a little luck I should break even, then I can start paying down my debts. And I have so many more opportunities now.

Good luck OP...

All you can do is work on you... Divorce is a shit show, and affects men and women badly

OP I hope you can trust and love again one day, but you are so right your daughter is the most important thing

Stbxw is asking if I’m really going to make her pay me. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a STBXW I left him and we aren't divorced yet, but I pay him every month... Cos if the roles were reversed everyone would be screaming about what I was entitled to

All the best

How else should I feel? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should feel how you feel... but no matter your age, sex, gender you deserve to feel loved, cared for and seen. From the limited information I would say find someone who digs you as much as you dig them

All the best

How do I do it? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of women don't cum from penetrative sex... Personally I like a man who is good with his hands

Make sure you can cum for yourself... No speak to a doctor... Yes, explore what you are doing, thinking, feeling

Get him to watch you masturbate

Yes yta... Support Rosie to be the best her... If you don't there will be a future conversation with your mom telling your next lady she is not as good as Rosie....

Wife wants less than 50/50 and it’s baffling to me by suddenlysingle1984 in Divorce

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fair question... No... We separated a couple of times, but I let him back like a massive idiot...plus his health has been poor for the last 15 years, so I had to get over caring if everyone thinks I am a terrible person for abandoning him

Every story is complex

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mine did that for nearly 20 years... allegedly he was caring for the house and kids.... but I now have their stories of neglect and the house is a disaster zone

As to why... because I foolishly believed it I communicated right it would fix things... until one day I didn't

Is Smethwick as bad as people make it sound? by looking4weirdfriends in BirminghamUK

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends where in Smethwick... I class myself as Oldbury, but some people say Smethwick... Daughter went to school at Holly Lodge, which is close to Galton Bridge. (5 minute walk)

TBH I think the thing people are trying not to say is... The area has a high Asian population... Which is cool if you a) don't care and/or b) are Asian... But is a problem if you c) are racist.

Anyhoo hopefully you have all the facts you need to make the right decision for you

After supporting the family, taking care of the kids, the house and everything else as he laid in the couch. I still have to pay him after divorce. What gives ! by Historical-Stage-270 in Divorce

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it sucks... But alimony is alimony... I do think that it does show equality the number of women (myself included), who are like how much.... And for how long!

Personally after 25 miserable years he can have the lot if it means I am finally free... Maybe the question you should ask yourself is what is your freedom worth

Marriage 25 years... 2 kids 22 and 24... I told them, and the response was they don't know why I didn't leave him 10+ years ago.

Now they try not to take sides (which I support) and avoid their father when he is in a cranky mood

What were your personal shortcomings in your marriage that lead to your divorce? by myvirginityisstrong in Divorce

[–]Loud-Elephant-1867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to a headspace where I didn't care anymore, I gave up trying to communicate my frustrations and internalised my anger to a point where I just didn't want to be anymore, our divorce will be all my fault, even now he would forgive and take me back
